Kids and I were talking about gaming engines.
Eventually my daughter asked "Will there be a Half-Life 3".
My only response was to say "How could you ask me that question? I'm deeply offended".
Then storm off muttering things about "you bring them up right, then one day, they ask THAT question"

@marick I've only contributed one thing to Wiki, but I think I did good https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Metynnis_lippincottianus_-_Spotted_Silver_Dollar.jpg

@SecureOwl@infosec.exchange I need to find that joke "certificate of deletion" someone posted the other day. I knew I'd need it soon, just not this soon

@aadeacon@mastodon.social oooh, do not start that fight!
In Australia, they're all "pool halls", but they generally have pool tables, billiards tables, and full size snooker tables 😆
We're a colony, but we do our own thing 😉

@sister_ratched@toot.community oh, very nice. And, yeh, I still remember leaving Sydney and it being the exit ramp to the city over the bridge. Best apartments in Sydney, and they were public housing

@marick honestly, give it a go. Worst that'll happen is a bunch of people you don't know or care about will disagree, but the discussion will end up creating clarity as different groups discuss and edit.
That's why we love Wikipedia, I suppose 😆

@rancoisse @backupbear oh, Albanese has them there by design. It's his cover for his bleeding heart bullshit.
"We can't do all the nice things " pretty much sums up Albanese's whole existence

@joannaholman some Ben Sherman gear from Salvos!
$15 for 2 pairs of pants and a shirt. I'm happy with that

@joannaholman *cough* Tory Belleci *cough*
It's a dude's name these days.
Also, for my old brain, just means a right winger

@mweagle pity it's on Substack. I'll never read it. They platform people who want to kill me

@luciedigitalni@aus.social nah, we really don't.
These insulting names are just American fascism through another lens. Americans think they're fighting him with them, but they're not, they're just being him.
Maybe just tell people to stop voting Labor, because

@erik@un.reasonably.social @regendans@todon.eu yeh, me either. Most of it is important info for webmasters (I know, an old term), developers, and infrastructure engineers, to know

@zwol@masto.hackers.town we have a few of those kei-trucks knocking about in my area. One is a landscapers truck with "cirque du soil" on the side, another a delivery truck for a non-alcoholic beer brewery, and the most often seen is a 3rd party Sodastream CO2 delivery truck

@CaptainFlab@libretooth.gr the only mice I have are about 35kg, and are able to use step-stools to get to my bowl of Japanese lollies (candy) 😆

@CaptainFlab@libretooth.gr need a lockable one, just so colleagues/family members can't get into it!

@ultranurd@tacobelllabs.net the funny thing is, that's why the (real life) F-117 Nighthawk looks the way it does: polygon restrictions in modelling software at the time.
It's also a distinct aircraft

@katelouisepowell@mastodon.scot I wish I wasn't poor and you were in Australia 😖
Best of luck with the sales, for a good cause, which shouldn't need to ever exist

@tansy@wandering.shop these posts make me so glad we have compulsory preferential voting here in Australia

@sister_ratched@toot.community we're going through the same in Melbourne right now with the Labor government... my neighbours are in despair about where they will live
Replying to
@phocks@bne.social the logic behind a cargo cult and our current economic systems is simplistic enough to seem plausible: a thing happened, because we did , so it must happen again.
The funniest bit is, they both come from the same place.
WWII. Cargo cults because of the actions in the pacific, our current economic system because of post-WWII US corporations being flush with cash.
It had nothing to do with the economic systems, they had money to spend, and spend they did

@nihilistnomya ooh, that looks quite delicious.
That would be a nice side with some marinated fried chicken and koshihikari rice

@siwek@social.tooinconsistent.com @Blender@mastodon.social thoughtful replies are for thoughtful people.
"Get fucked" is the default for shitty people like Blender.
I was trying to get my daughter into 3D art, pushing her to use Blender. Not any more. She'll blacklist them anyway, for taking money from Anthropic

@msdropbear42 @luciedigitalni@aus.social of course, but I don't get where I'm failing to explain that these insults, they're straight out of the Trump playbook.
If you want to be a puerile fascist, go ahead, I won't stop you, but I won't be participating in this shit

@psneeze@mastodon.ie oh no, it's a thing, and if you do anything with haptics and VR, you will come across it A LOT 😄

@noodlemaz@mstdn.games @chartier@toot.cafe oh, yeh, I get that, it's just a bit rich for a people from a country with nearly no regulation to lecture the world about the importance of regulation.
It's the usual hegemonic play from Americans, at all levels. We live through this daily
Replying to
@HunterZ@mastodon.sdf.org @noodlemaz@mstdn.games @chartier@toot.cafe because it's posted on the internet. You do understand that the internet crosses the whole globe?
Aaah hegemonic peoples, everyone else doesn't exist unless you let them

@chartier@toot.cafe Always funny seeing Americans say that stuff.
Chlorine chicken, mystery beef, no testing regime, constant outbreaks of salmonella... yep, regulations are working great there

@mia LLMs enabled that. Enough bullshit, and no one can tell the difference.
Took a lot more effort before then

@mweagle no, it's you that needs to stop posting substack and supporting Nazis.
Or are you that ok with supporting Nazis? The ONLY thing I can take away from that is that you are, indeed, a Nazi

@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io I was thinking about this today. It's like they watched Star Trek or other sci-fi, saw the "black box" devices that relied on a central service to run, and said "I want some of that".
They want us all to have dumb devices we pay them for that use their services, that we pay even more for.
The saddest part is every single company seems to be onboard with this, despite them suffering greatly now because of it

@msdropbear42 @luciedigitalni@aus.social and that, right there, is exactly what I'm talking about. Enjoy your ignorant life
